About this Mod
As an initial disclaimer this mod was created and is updated using Mcreator, and will continue to be so for the forseeable future. I made it because I wanted it and could not find it.
Have you ever wanted to build an aquarium in your Minecraft home for the pleasure of keeping those lovely little fishies in your home? Or to give your loyal axolotls a place to live in peace? Only to find your options.... limited and suboptimal. With blocks that make things bulky, panes that don't actually let you build a proper aquarium with them CAUSE THEY ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STUPID BLOCK AND FLOOD BOTH SIDES WHEN WATERLOGGED.
Look no further my friends! for I have finally done what I couldn't find anyone else doing, though I have seen people talk about it no one ever seems to actually do it! WELL I DID AND NOW I AM HERE TO SHARE IT WITH YOU. GO BUILD YOURSELF THAT BEAUTIFUL AQUARIUM YOU DESERVE!
... Hey You, Yea You. You didn't hear it from me, but no one said you had to actually put water in the aquarium. You can use these things as tanks for all those modded critter you like for a zoo!
Remember this if nothing else: To get a full block tank use a glass block to get a tank pane style tank use a glass pane!
Ok at this point you should really have clicked off or decided you want one of these things, so here is the part where I tell you how to get one. All you got to do my friend is make some glass and take that fragile thing right over to the stonecutter. That's right you heard me correctly the stonecutter, we are going to CUT the glass into shape and there is not a thing it can do about it but SUBMIT. Then you take your lovely new tank parts and you build the tank of your dreams! I have done my best with this initial set to create as many parts as I could think of to give the most creative freedom. I DARE you good sir to find a tank you can't build with my parts. And if its possible I will do my best to make it happen!

Now I'm sure I will get the question... Why the BONK did you use the terracotta texture for the bottom of the tank... The answer is simple. I had oak planks originally but decided I wanted something that worked well when rotated cause that's how the tanks work. I also decided I didn't want a plain black or white personally. Don't worry though, you can make the textures of the bottom or frame, WHATEVER YOU WANT WITH A TEXTURE PACK. THIS IS ME SAYING GO CUSTOMIZE THE EVER LIVING BONK OUT OF YOUR TANKS. YOU WANT PURPLUR TEXTURE? GO DO IT. YOU WANT LAVA TEXTURE? WHATS WRONG WITH YOU BUT GO DO IT!
Also a Disclaimer the tanks look significantly better with shaders if you are not already using them.
